I really don’t know what’s happened to Neil Marshall, but, well, he got a holiday in Malta out of this I guess?

Initially thought it was a homage to giallo, then wondered if it was a satire, and ultimately: it’s just actually that bad. Sleazy, cheesy, badly acted, badly written.

Happy Halloween!

I made a video on Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein as a Halloween treat (mostly for myself).

I talk about that film, as well as the history of the Universal Monsters and Bud & Lou themselves.

Which is exciting.

If you see this, quote with a vampire that isn't Dracula.

The great Bela Lugosi as the totally not Dracula (honest) and definitely completely legally distinct (our lawyers have checked) Count Tesla in Columbia Pictures’ The Return of the Vampire.

OTD in 2005 DangerMouse & MF DOOM dropped The Mouse & The Mask & while it’s not DOOM’s best work, it solidified the persona introduced in MadVillainy, a self effacing rapping Rodney Dangerfield, intricate word salads peppered with jokes & allusions

ASYLUM (1972)

A young psychiatrist visits a psychiatric hospital. This is the catalyst for an anthology of stories

Bizarre and creepy. And laughable (especially Herbert Lom's toy model of himself)

Great cast

I like anthology horror movies

Y'days post: Populism and Economic Prosperity mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/10/popu...
We would expect populist governments to damage the economy. The evidence suggests that they do so in a big way. But we know from Brexit that the media typically nullifies the impact of this evidence on voters.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
